I started writing novels after a long career in broadcasting and journalism. My first novel - The Girl with Emerald Eyes (originally published as 'Secrets of the Tower' in March 2015), is set in two time zones - the modern day and 12th century.

Daughters of the Silk Road

I have just received my first review of 'Daughters of the Silk Road' - and it was for 5*. I'm thrilled obviously. The book was put up on Net Galley on Friday evening, and I'm so touched that someone took the trouble to read it so quickly and leave such a positive review.
